    Posted by Rob on April 28th, 2009

    “Please join me for a special Shop Worn Angel when I will have the pleasure of talking with the lovely Reba Hasko. New Mexico based Reba produced , wrote, recorded and programmed the beautiful Seeds From The Twisted Pear album while in Berlin. Reba’s dark and varied experimental creations really only reflect her unique sound, but come to us with a hint of Marianne Faithfull, Tori Amos and Siouxsie Sioux. Feel free to check out Reba’s music beforehand: www.myspace.com/rebahasko .”
